Immunolocalization of alpha and beta chains of human chorionic gonadotropin, placental lactogen and pregnancy-specific beta-glycoprotein in term placenta by a touch preparation method
Abstract
Touch preparations of human placenta yield cells retaining antigenic reactivity to immunoperoxidase stains for alpha and beta chains of human chorionic gonadotropin, placental lactogen, and pregnancy-specific beta glycoprotein. This method is a rapid and simple alternative to conventional frozen and paraffin-embedded sections for detection of placental peptides.
